LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease within a traditional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for drug abuse, and it is an example of a thing that will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
